Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

—–

“Lady Planta, who is this lady?” David wondered, admiring Johanna’s beautiful appearance and strong demeanor.

She was actually taller than him by a bit, and was very muscular and strong looking, something that seemed to attract David.

Patricia looked to clearly have some crush on her captain, because she was glaring at me and Johanna with a lot of jealously.

“Oh, her? She’s Johanna, the granddaughter of the Druid Guild’s master. Granny Austucia told us to bring her along so she can gather experience and behave better.” I explained. “I apologize in advance for her demeanor or her personality, she’s actually a really good girl deep down.”

“What?! I can introduce myself; you know?” Johanna only grew angrier. “Not nice to meet you at all! I HATE knights and all of you people of the Luminous Kingdom. If it wasn’t for my granny I wouldn’t be here!”

“Hah?! How DARE you say that in front of our captain?! Do you want me to teach you some manners, filthy tree-hugging Druid?!” Patricia instantly jumped into the fray, about to unsheathe her rapier.

“Huh? Wanna go, pinky twin tails?” Johanna smiled furiously, cracking her knuckles. “I don’t have any problems teaching YOU some manners!”

David glanced at me while panicking, he seemed to have little experience teaching new knights, I believe he had been only promoted to captain recently.

“That’s enough.” I said. “No infighting, Johanna, she’s our ally. Patricia, I apologize for her demeanor. I promise you I’ll punish her myself for that.”

“Hmph…” Patricia crossed her arms and sheathed her rapier. “You better do!”

“What? How are you even punishing me?” Johanna asked with a cocky smile.

“Like this.” I smiled, waving my hand to summon a tiny flower spirit, which spoke with Austucia’s voice.

“Hm? Did I hear Johanna misbehaving?!”

“EEP! G-Grandma?!”

“Apologize right this instant!”

“S-Sorry!”

Johanna quickly apologized, this was a neat trick I made, it was called a “Voice Mimicking Flower Spirit” that I could create now thanks to my advanced Green Magic powers.

“Hmph, alright Planta, if the girl ever misbehaves again, just call me.”

“Okay, thanks, Austucia~”

Like that, the fake call ended, and Johanna was very frustrated…

“Now you know your granny will be watching over you at ALL times, so behave, alright? I’m not asking you for anything other than having some basic manners. Don’t attack people, and don’t insult them, that’s all!” I sighed. “Alright?”

“…Fine.” Johanna sighed, looking elsewhere to not look into my eyes.

“This girl’s a handful, if I as in charge I would have already pulled her ears apart.” Rita sighed.

“Now, now, let’s just move to our destination.” Mark tried to cool down the heat of the moment. “We don’t have all day after all.”

“You’re right!” David nodded very happily, he also just wanted to move on. “Let’s go then! The district where lady planta sensed the demonic magic must be Magica Street, known for the Magica Family of Wizards to live. They have several houses there. The King suspects that this family, or a few of their members, could be cooperating with the Cult.”

“More like they could be cooperating with the Magician Guild, if they’re all wizards… But we have yet to discover if they’re related.” Rita pointed out. “Though, I bet all those aristocrats are into this shit.”

“The Magica Family…” Sighed Joustin. “I have a few relatives from that family, I really hope they’re not involved…”

“Well! If that ever happens we’ll have to simply pick the traitors, its not like the whole family is at fault, right?” Heshmerie smiled, patting his friend’s shoulders.

“Even then, Joustin, you mustn’t hesitate. These people are evil and have tried assassinating the King and the Prince.”

“Don’t have mercy.”

The blue haired twins had very cold demeanors and were decided to slay. Their bright eyes showed a lightless hue. Whatever lives they lived, they must have been trained to become ruthless knights since a young age.

“Y-Yes, I understand…” Joustin sighed, tightly and nervously grasping the handle of his magic sword.

“Hmph, I still can’t believe a noble would betray the King… Are we sure this is true and not some sort of scheme from this woman trying to deceive us into attacking our own?” Asked Patricia, being rather skeptical about me.

“You’ll see for yourself once we arrive. The scene of demonic energy is getting stronger.” I said, ignoring her remark. “The Spirits seem afraid of this place.”

We finally reached the place in question, a huge, blue-colored manor. At plain sight, it looked normal, but with my Spiritual Sight, I could sense an enormous force surging from within.

One very much connected to that Demonic Book, I could also sense Miasma and Nether there… There’s definitely something happening in that house.

“I can sense something as well…” Mark agreed.

“Me too.” Rita nodded.

“I can’t sense a thing!” Jenny sighed.

“There is something malicious brewing in this house…” Nieve said. “Sir David, does the people inside know we’ve come?”

“No, this is an undercover mission, so we haven’t revealed anything yet.” David said. “We will try a simple approach first and ask them to let us inside politely to talk about other things. Joustin’s connection to the family will be a good reason to enter without them being too suspicious.”

“I see how it is, quite an alright plan.” I nodded. “Did the detectives find anything else?”

“We’ve gotten some information, yes. They said that the members of this house in specific always leave the house around midnight and come back at four in the morning.” Said David. “Every single day, almost religiously.”

“Where do they go?” Asked Mark.

“They haven’t found out yet, they apparently walk into an alley and then disappear. Perhaps they use some sort of concealment magic or teleportation magic.” Said David. “They’re a famous wizard family after all, I wouldn’t doubt the possibility they have strong magic and magic tools at their disposal.”

“Hmm, I see how it is.” I nodded, rubbing my chin. “We’ll have to prepare for the worst then. Joustin, are you okay with this?”

“I-I am! I’ve already made up my mind. Thank you for being so considerate, Lady Planta.” He said.

“Then let’s go.”
